I’m growing up and I don’t know if I’m alright with that
I wish I could be a carefree little girl again
But the weight of the world is on my shoulders like an anvil
I’ll be 16 soon
10 years ago I was in Kindergarten without a care learning my ABCs
Now I read Othello and Frankenstein alike
I know my ABCs
I know how to count from one to ten
I can talk quite proper
I wish I was learning my ABCs once more
